_{[When the camera comes on, Heather is looking half-asleep, and very confused. It's daybreak and the sky is still pale overhead.]}

Uh.... Hey, Rise? If you get this, I got a question for ya...

<sub>[Because Rise is her buddy and she's the first person Heather remembers actually hatching something.]

[The camera turns to show a very strange object sitting at the foot of Heather's sleeping bag:]</sub>

This was... totally just... there when I woke up this morning. It definitely wasn't there last night. I haven't seen one like it before, either... I thought maybe Claudy laid it or something, but it's like... bigger than she is.

_{[Heather isn't the only one confused by the egg's presence, either-- the infamous Hoothoot, not hiding in Heather's pack like normal at the moment, is curiously investigating the egg and doing what appears to be a mildly-alarmed dance involving a lot of head-bobbing and moving from foot to foot (but minus the shitty music). The egg is, indeed, bigger than she is.]}

Any clue what it is?

... Or how it got here?

Oooh...it doesn't tick, does it?

That owl is fantastic!

[Up until now, he's only heard a Hoothoot, or seen pictures]

... Tick? ... Wh- .... no, I don't think so. .... _{[JUST TO BE SURE, she held the egg up to her ear.]} .... Nah, I think it's bomb-free.

And oh-- Claudy? ... Yeah, she's... um... she's talented. _{[Now that the egg was in Heather's hands, the Hoothoot had waddled her way over and was now doing her special dance right up in the camera, which she was normally afraid of.]}

[Jack breaks into a huge grin, watching Claudy be her bad self.]

Hello, owl!

_{[Damn it all, Claudy was an OWL. O W L. And Edgar was a CROW. With a hat. Whatever.]}

_{[CUE BIG RED EYES AIMED AT THE SCREEN. Claudy sees what you did there! She proceeded to bobble more than ever.]}

Heh. She must like you.

She sure is quiet! My Edgar likes to talk over the Poke'Gear nonstop.

Well, she's quiet until she decides to make noises like a dying old woman, anyway... that's why I caught her, she wouldn't let me sleep.

[That sounded TERRIFYING. Jack had to have one. He just had to! GTFO, SUN! JACK NEEDS HIM A HOOTHOOT!]

Wow!

[foolishwren]

That wasn't quite my reaction when she decided to do it right next to my head.

You like creepy stuff, huh?

[quickattackjack]

I do. It reminds me a lot of home. We have a lot of owls and crows in the woods.
